Design Philosophy:
Refined, eclectic, timeless, worldly. We love using a variety of textures and a muted palette as a base and then adding a selection of furnishings in natural materials, plus lighting and art. A home should be a reflection of the people who live in it.
Inspiration:
Travel, books, magazines, museums, art, flea markets, fashion, nature, and Instagram.
Hottest Trends:
• Nature, sustainability, and organic design, including increased use of natural materials like woods, colorful marbles, terrazzo, and recycled materials such as plastics; and rich, dark colors derived from nature
• A resurgence of cane and wicker furniture
• Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian design
• Integrated living spaces
• Indoor-outdoor living
Top 5 Design Tips:
1. Less is often more.
2. Texture goes a long way.
3. I live by eclectic design, mixing modern, vintage, and antique pieces.
4. Be aware of scale. I often see installations where the furniture is too big or the rug is too small.
5. Fill your home with things you love so that it feels collected.
